Windows 7: Bsod for new pc

Please install your specs in your (My System Specs)
Could you also let us know what security programs you use. Put them in your specs.

It's easy. Just tick on My System Specs on one of your post and select to Update.

One stick of ram is not a good thing. Your motherboard is dual channel. Using only one stick keep your motherboard in single channel, which is slower. Two sticks would put your motherboard in dual channel mode. It doesn't hurt anything and I don't think it's causing your problem.

Hello, Khaine welcome to the Forums. I will try to help, even though you already have excellent help with Layback Bear. As Layback Bear asked, please fill out your system specs in as much detail as possible and place them under your 'My System Specs' We often have to look up components, so the Manufacturer and model enables us to do that, and with them under My System Specs they are always there in every post. Please include your PSU and CPU cooler too. Hopefully, this will help.

Please fill out your System Specs

Information

Your System Specs will help us to help you, and doing it in this manner will make them available to all helpers in every post and keep us from hunting for them. We ask that you fill them out in as much detail as possible including Desktop or Laptop, Model number if it is an OEM computer and all components with the Manufacturer and Model number if possible.

If you will go to your last post and click the 'System Specs' in the bottom left of the post, you will find a link to update your system specs. Please fill those out in as much detail as possible, making sure to click save at the bottom of the page. If you would like to know what we would like, you can click 'My System Specs' at the bottom left of this post to see mine. If you do not know what your components are, this will help you accomplish this task. System Info - See Your System Specs

When you changed Motherboards did you change to the same make and model and did you do a clean install when you changed to the new one?

You have 1 Dump File in the past month when you had 2, then another a couple of weeks before that. All are listing different error codes and different causes.

That is the Ancillary Function Driver for WinSock driver from Windows Update. Please go to Windows Update and in the Left column click Update History and see how many Updates have Failed. Also check and see if those updates were later installed successfully. Please make sure your updates are current.

When you installed Drivers for your Motherboard, did you install them from the Driver Disk or did you go to your Motherboard's web site and download them?

As you will notice, every dump file has a different Bugcheck or Stop code. That is typical for memory problems. Memory problems will cause every dump file to be totally unreliable. You also will notice that every driver listed is different and have nothing to do with each other. That is unusual also. The last dump file has an error code of 7E which often is a hard drive error. So, I know you said you have already run memtest86+, but for my purposes, I would like to have you run it again. It is especially necessary because of the reliability of the dump files, which we depend on, and because one of the dump files specifically mentioned it. These are the directions I would like you to follow.

Please Run Memtest86+

Information

Please download from this site only http://www.memtest.org/ in the middle of the page are the Download links, you can download the ISO.zip or the Auto USB Flash Drive installer.zip

Extract the Zip file. If you chose the ISO image, burn it to a CD using Windows Disk Image Burner or any Image burner you may have. If you downloaded the Auto USB installer, extract it, insert your USB 2.0 Flash Drive and take note of the drive letter. Run the installer, select the Flash Drive Letter, check the format box and press next. It will install memtest86+ to a flash drive. You can use either V4.20 or V5.01. Boot from your selected media. If you use V5.01 it will tell you to press certain buttons at the start, please press no buttons. The test will begin on it's own and continue to run until you stop it. It needs to run for 8 complete passes or until you receive an error. If you receive an error, stop the test. Even 1 error is a fail. Each pass tests a different part of the ram and each of the 10 tests in each pass tests something different. It takes a minimum of 8 passes run at the same session to completely test the ram, more passes are better. It is quite a long test and will take several hours depending on how much ram you have. Due to the time length it is best to run overnight. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

If you would, please answer the questions I asked during this too long of a post. It may help us get to the bottom of your problems sooner. If you have any questions or do not understand anything, please do not hesitate to ask. I don't mind at all.

One other point you were discussing in an earlier post. You said you were using MSI Afterburner and another program. It is never a good idea to use 2 monitoring programs at the same time that are measuring the same thing. Afterburner will do everything you need. I would suggest you go into settings and enable a custom fan profile and have the fans spin higher, which will reduce your temps. I use a pretty aggressive profile on my card. It will depend on how loud your fans are and how tolerant you are to the noise. I set my fan profile at 40% until it reaches 40°C. From there I have the fan increase as the temp rises until it gets to 80° where the fans are at 100%. But, by doing that, my card has never seen 80° which means your fans will usually not get that high. On my card the highest temp I get is during a stress test when it gets to 70°. During normal gaming, it will usually run between 45-55°. You can also set Afterburner to display on screen during gaming your Temp, fan speed, FPS, Graphics frequency and almost anything you want to see. You will always be able to know what temps your card is running. I hope that helps a little.

Khaine, Your first priority should be to backup your personal files to an external source and do a clean install of the OS. (Clean Install Windows 7) Please download all of your Drivers from Asus Web Site (https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M5A97_LE_R20/) and do not use the Driver Disk. The drivers are much more current from Asus site than from the drivers disk. Much of your problems are likely from the fact that you have the drivers from the old Motherboard being used on the new motherboard. That almost always causes problems.

Your copy is apparently an OEM copy, which means it is only good on the first computer you installed it on. That's why it is cheaper than a retail version. When you change computers, you have to get a new OS. You can try calling Microsoft and give them a sad story and they can activate it if they want to. Just select activate by phone. It won't cost anything to try.
